Unknown time (after the events of Cardcaptor Sakura)

Current Timeline

Clone Sakura is reincarnated in the past as Sakura Kinomoto. Clone Syaoran is reincarnated as Syaoran Li.

After searching for Syaoran for fourteen years, Sakura and Syaoran reunite in Hong Kong.

Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li marry.

Sakura has a vision and realises that if they follow as what their previous selves did, the current cycle (of "Syaoran" being born to them, and for them to be cloned from "Syaoran" and "Sakura") will be endless. However, she mentions seeing one moment, which they did not experience prior to their reincarnation, to which Syaoran asks if that could be the path to break the endless cycle. In the same dream she meets Sakura Kinomoto, who gave her the Star Wand (as seen in chapter 217) and encouraged her to believe in herself and in her loved ones, and that everything will be alright.

Sakura receives a prophetic dream showing her son's destined person in another world.

Syaoran talks with his son, telling him to go to Clow Country.

"Syaoran" meets Yuko Ichihara, and she grants his wish to go to Clow Country. He can only remain there for seven days during this visit. The payment for this wish was made by his mother with the Star Wand.

"Syaoran" accompanies Sakura to the last day of her purification ceremony. During that time, Fei Wang Reed appears and places the "Engraved Seal of Death" on Sakura, despite "Syaoran's" best efforts to stop him. "Syaoran" is then returned to his world.

"Syaoran" agrees to return to Clow Country, on the condition that he cannot return to his world until there exists in Clow Country someone who can cross dimensions.

Events occuring after the seven-day event in Clow Country

"Syaoran" returns to Clow Country after his wounds are healed (seven days after the purification finishes) and meets with Sakura. "Syaoran" vows to find a way to remove the seal.

Seven years later, "Syaoran" returns from another country where he attempted to find a way to remove the seal from Sakura.

Events occuring after the seven-day event in modern-day Japan

Syaoran and Sakura rewind their own time (assuming the forms both of them were in before reincarnation), and are trapped in a 'different world' (the tube seen at the beginning of the manga), unable to touch one another.

Watanuki is adopted, after his parents disappear from their current world, under the guise of dying to protect him.

Kimihiro Watanuki agrees to trade all of his past memories (excluding his name and birthday, but including the encounter) to Yuko to gain the whereabouts of the original "Sakura" and the other Sakura.

Events occuring in Nihon

Fei Wang kills the mother of Kurogane. As Kurogane's mother was responsible for the protective wards surrounding their village, Kurogane's father is also killed when demons invade. In his grief, he goes on a mindless rampage.

-Note This marks the beggining of the Tokyo Arc in Tsubasa Chronicle

In a spring day, Yuko, Mokona, Domeki and Watanuki meet in Domeki's grandfather's temple to play Mahjong. The lady in the tree crosses to the other side.

The Neko-Musume (cat-girl) appears and makes a request of Yuuko, giving her an egg in exchange for Watanuki collecting water for her from a well. Watanuki makes a pinky promise with Himawari.

-Note! The water collected by Watanuki and Doumeki is given to Sakura in the Tokyo Arc.

Watanuki meets Haruka (Doumeki's grandfather) in a dream and they talk about Himawari. He also tells him to bring the other dream balloon next day, as he does he meets Kohane next day. He gives her the balloon.

Watanuki's pinky continues to hurt and he becomes more suspicious of Himawari. In the following day, he falls off the window just after she touches him. (This is later revealed to be Watanuki subconsciously trying to "erase himself", not an effect of Himawari's bad luck.)

Watanuki hears his parents inside the dream of hell. Haruka brings him back.

Watanuki learns that Doumeki and Himawari became Yūko's clients in order to save his life and he hears from Himawari that her bad luck affects the people around her, resulting them in dying. But thanks to Yuko they will be able to be together without endangering himself. She received Watanuki's scars as a price, and Doumeki paid with his blood. Syaoran's price is not yet known.

-Note! Sakura's egg retrieved back in Tokyo is given to Watanuki and hatches, since then Himawari can be around Watanuki without putting him in danger. The bird is called Tanpopo.
- The egg becomes two, the other egg doesn't have any powers, it won't hatch.

After meeting again in the park, Kohane's mother appear and takes her away from Watanuki and Doumeki.

Watanuki faints for the first time. Yuko advises him to stay in the shop.

- Note! This marks the beggining of the Dream World Arc in xxxHolic, and in Tsubasa as well.

Watanuki celebrates his birthday. He falls into the Dream World again, meeting Haruka. He meets Clone Sakura for the first time in this world.

Yuko tells Watanuki that Sakura's soul if staying in the dream, won't be able to come back and so she'll die. He realizes they are both in the Dream World.

During a medium show, Kohane is criticized for telling the truth.

Meeting Sakura in the Dream World again, she tells Watanuki that she had a dream where Syaoran was stabbed by Fye, to prevent this from happening she entered the dream. They share the same birthday.

After learning that Kohane is being harassed by the public as many believe her powers are a fraud, Watanuki pays a visit to her. He finds her house has been vandalized, and Kohane is wounded by someone who "pushed" her through the stairs. Watanuki tries to comfort her.

Kohane's mother comes home and finds Watanuki and Doumeki. She gets angry, yells them to leave, eventually she attacks Watanuki. Back in the shop healing his eyes, Watanuki wonders if he can grant Yuko's wish.

Watanuki meets Sakura again in the Dream World. She tells him about Fye's pain, and how him and Syaoran are so alike. When she mentions their birthdays he realizes he can't remember his parents' names.

Watanuki and Domeki get chased by bird-girls but manage to escape.

Watanuki and Himawari have a picnic together. When a hand grabs his sherbet, Himawari asks him about sampling his sherbet but doesn't seem to be able to taste it.

Once more, Watanuki goes into the Dream World where he meets his old friend who passed away. Inside the dream someone calls him telling him "Don't dissapear".

Watanuki meets with Yuko in the Dream World. He asks her if he's inside a dream and when he'll wake up. He can't remember anybody aside from the people he met in the shop. Still in the dream, Yuko tells him about his relationship with Syaoran Li and then Watanuki offers to grant Yuko's wish.

After waking up, Watanuki decides to face his reality even if it's a "dream". After meeting with Domeki and Himawari he enters the Dream World again, when he sees Sakura and a hand behind her trying to grab her.

Inside the Dream World, Watanuki meets Syaoran Li again, but leaves before the Clone appears and loses his glasses there.

Tired of seeing Kohane being harassed by the media and mistreated by her own mother, Watanuki takes her to the shop.

Kohane tells Watanuki about her past. After she started seein ghosts, her mother got her into TV shows, and her father left them. The mother's wish of revenge led to their unhappiness.

Kohane makes a wish to stop the rumors on TV in order to be happy, and pays her powers as a price. Yuko finds out that the power she had came from one of Sakura's feathers, although not all of it, meaning that the time-space is breaking apart.

The shop is begging to fade away, while Maru and Moro seem to be unable to keep the shop standing for much longer.

Kohane is brought to live with the Fortune-teller Old Lady, before moving in with Doumeki.

Kohane asks Doumeki about his relationship with Watanuki. She pleads to him to take care of him since she lost her powers. Afterwards, Watanuki teaches Kohane to cook.

Back at Yuko's shop, a new customer arrives. This customer wants to learn cooking. Watanuki falls into the Dream World once more, and meets Haruka. They argue about Doumeki and his eating- he'd only eat someting he trusts.

Watanuki goes to his customer's place to teach her to cook. Watanuki gives Doumeki some of her dish, but he turns it down, and he feels uneasy about it. So, he asks Yuko to taste it, but she knows that there's a difference between both dishes- hers and Watanuki's.

Watanuki finds out that the girl doesn't like eating her own food and finds it disgusting.

Yuko talks about Watanuki's origins, and Sakura's Star Staff. It was his parents who made Watanuki and Syaoran different from each other, by changing their names. Thus he was able to live without being used for Fei Wong's purposes.

Watanuki felt he didn't want to live, since his parents are dead. He tried to "erase himself" when Syaoran fought his clone in Tokyo. Maru and Moro tell Yuko that they'll do their best to protect the shop, additionally Yuko says that Watanuki's name contains the promise that their parents made to him "to absolutely go and find him".

At this point, the series reach the same plot as Tsubasa in the Nihon Arc, and this is the time where Syaoran tells Watanuki "don't dissapear".

Watanuki questions his student why she wouldn't eat her food. The reason is that she finds herself and everything about her disgusting.

The fortune teller calls Yuko, meaning to talk with Watanuki but he's not there at the moment. She wanted to tell him that his parents are still alive- but he can't know about it yet, eventually he will once they both meet again.

Yuko meets Haruka in the Dream World, the both talk about the "butterfly's dream" and that everything will come to an end.

Watanuki asks his client to come to the shop to teach her. He also asks her to eat what she made, but she wouldn't; so Watanuki wonders if it's because that cooking implies showing yourself- but this leads to the client running away.

Without realizing it, Watanuki falls into the Dream World and meets Yuko there. Yuko's words imply that "the dream must end" and she fades away into little butterflies. Watanuki wakes up, shocked just to realize he can't meet Yuko anymore.

2 weeks go by, and still Watanuki hasn't seen Yuko, Mokona or Maru and Moro. He continues to drop by riceballs to his client, who wouldn't receive him.

Himawari makes cookies for Watanuki and Doumeki. One month goes by, and Watanuki doesn't give up on dropping by food to his client, who finally gets his food.

At this point, the story reaches Tsubasa's last arc: Watanuki falls into the Dream World and meets both Sakuras and Syaorans. Mother Sakura repeats what Sakura Kinomoto said: "Don't worry, it'll be alright", before he returns to the real world. He starts calling out for Yuko.

As Watanuki searches for Yuko, the shop starts to dissapear. Watanuki also finds his client, enraged because she actually ate what she made. She realized she was an empty person inside, but still wanted Watanuki to help her.

Watanuki is glad about it, and is excited about what Yuko would say. But the client doesn't remember her. He also meets the twins, who don't remember her either, so he runs towards the shop- only to find himself inside the Dream World once more- and meets Yuko.

Yuko is at her point of death, and explains Watanuki that she must have died a long time ago, but she didn't because of someone's emotions- and had to remain until the day that had to come.

Watanuki has no memory of these "two futures" so he doesn't care about it. Nor does he care about the choice, a choice that he had no say in. He tells Yuko about how much he changed because of her, and he's grateful to her.

Once Yuko is gone, Watanuki's wish will finally come true. But Watanuki still wants to grant her wish, to which she replies that her sole wish is for him to keep existing.

Back at the shop, Maru and Moro reappear, to tell Watanuki that Yuko's really gone. Mokona reappears as well, and talks to Doumeki, telling him the time to use the egg still has to come. The last people who remind Yuko are Doumeki, Kohane, Himawari and the Fortune teller.

xxxHOLiC officially ends and xxxHOLiC Rou (Cage) starts with Watanuki becoming the new master of the store, unable to leave it until he meets Yuuko again.

Many years pass by, Watanuki is revealed to not be able to age anymore, as Doumeki grows even more and reaches adulthood and Kohane becomes a high school student.

Doumeki has still not used the egg.

It's revealed that Watanuki's powers didn't cease to exist and that he's got the ability to grant some people's wishes by entering the Dream World.

Watanuki is revealed to be constantly denying himself from getting proper retributions for the wishes he grants often getting either too much or too little, thus hurting himself. Haruka and Doumeki warn him against it.

The shop is visited by a spirit that owns a Samisen, who is looking for the proper Bachi to play it.

Watanuki finds a Bachi at the store's basement that breaks right after the spirit uses it to play the Shamisen.

The price paid for this wish was the Shamisen itself, which now becomes one of Watanuki's hobbies.

Watanuki has learned to smoke Yuuko's former pipe, and is visited by the pipe cleaner.

The pipe cleaner tricks Watanuki into letting the Jorou-gumo into the store.

The Jorou-gumo requests a crimson pearl.

Watanuki visits the appartment of one of Yuuko's earlier costumers in his dreams and meets a girl who can see and hear him.

Himawari phones Watanuki, it's revealed that she is now attending to a faraway college and has decided to visit the store only once a year, during Watanuki's birthday, Before saying their goodbyes both of them ambiguously say "I love you".

Watanuki meets once again with the girl at the earlier costumer appartment and learns that she can't age nor die and is being abused by the people she lives with for that reason.

The next time the two meet, the girl tells Watanuki the people she lived with were scared of here and had just commited suicide, leaving her all alone. She understands that while she lives forever she'll be alone, but still wants to look for someone who will love her. The girl's tears become a crimson pearl.

Watanuki wakes up to find the Jorou-gumo waiting for him. before he gives him the crimson pearl, the Jorou-gumo states that the girl is a siren and is similar to Watanuki since both are going to outlast all the people they once loved. She asks him to play a song for her in the Shamisen, that is revealed to act on it's own and wander the shop by itself.

Over 100 years pass with Watanuki remaining in the shop. Doumeki's grandson has inherited the egg. Watanuki gets a recurring dream of a butterfly but wakes up before the dream can conclude.

Watanuki eventually sees the full dream: Yuko communicates to him that he is now powerful enough that he no longer needs to wait in the shop. However, Watanuki still decides to wait for Yuko in the shop. Doumeki debates on whether to use the egg.

She goes on to explain her past with Clow Reed and how she will grant both of them life again for a price- She will pay for Sakura while Syaoran has to make a choice (as the price). Yuuko informs the clones that their reincarnation is different, in that they will retain all their memories- the good and the bad. Also, she states that after being reborn, they will "set forth towards this moment". She explains that because of Fei Wong Reed's plans, the past and future are now entangled with one another- however, both are ultimately determined by the choices made in the present. Yuuko then adds on, telling them that they will once again meet up with the real Syaoran and Sakura. However, what happens then is up to them to decide what happens next.

Clones Syaoran and Sakura finally admit their love for one another before Yuuko sends them off to be reborn within the same dimension, at the same time so that they can meet each other again.

Once they disappear, Yuuko simply wishes the best for the children, knowing that her role has been fulfilled and hence her time is up. After this, Watanuki meets Yuuko as known from xxxHolic Chapter 181.

Fei Wong Reed and the rest now realise that the parents are actually the reincarnated clones. There is a brief reunion/surprise between them as they are glad that the clones did not die after all. It is understood that Fay knew of this, although he admitted that he was not very sure of it.

Suddenly, Fei Wong Reed realises that Yuuko has died/vanished from all dimensions- something which he cannot accept, and vows to resurrect her

In order to do so, he turns back time, using the clones' time as the price - imprisoning them in a tube similar to that the clones had been residing in.

In their attempt to save them, "Syaoran" and Sakura-hime are pulled into the tube as well.

The clones question the originals on why they tried to save them, when they should have escaped

Their reason is the same as the clones- Their existence is precious to the other, hence both parties want the other to survive

It is also revealed that Sakura-hime has been seeing the events through Sakura and is aware of the situation

Fei Wong Reed in his anger vows to destroy the clones

Fay and Kurogane attempt to stop him; their effort is futile as Fei Wong Reed easily repels them

Apparently, in order to break the tube, one needs the "permission of those dragged into this", which neither has, hence their failed attempt

White Mokona realises that the tube is the very one in Yuuko's shop

Fay and Kurogane try again to save the clones and originals, but are badly injured instead

The 2 pairs of Syaoran and Sakura comment that even though changing the future may be difficult, it is possible with the help of their friends- Fay, Kurogane and Mokona.

With that, the 2 pairs of Syaoran and Sakura combine their powers in an attempt to escape from the tube- With their ultimate goal of all 4 of them surviving

Fei Wong Reed initially mocks their attempt, but when the 2 Sakura's realise that their combined power can break the space-time continuum, he reacts in shock

Apparently, he placed that power within them- But never intending for them to use it for such a purpose

He tries to reason with them, that by escaping, they will only cause space-time to collapse, and that their existence may very well vanish

Despite that, they continue in their efforts, with their hearts set on moving forward, whatever the consequences- because they believe in everyone

With their combined power, the two Sakura's break out of the tube, stunning Fei Wong Reed

Kurogane seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal slash to Fei Wong Reed

As he starts disintegrating (like Syaoran previously), he reveals that his purpose for existing was to resurrect Yuuko

In his final moments, he tells the two Syaoran's that like him, they too must be punished for their sins

The world returns back to normal, but unfortunately, the two Syaoran's were not able to escape from the tube

They (the two Syaoran's) emerge in a dark world- one devoid of everything

Realising that their magic is gone, they wonder if that was the price to be paid

Suddenly, Watanuki appears in front of them

Watanuki has finally understood that "Syaoran" and him are not only similar- they are the same being- a fact that Sakura and Yuuko have hinted previously

The three of them also realise that this isn't the dream world, but rather a loop-hole within the space-time continuum

As the two Syaoran's fill Watanuki with their side of the story, we witness Sakura vanishing

With Watanuki now fully aware of all that has been happening, the three of them ponder over their individual choices and how it has affected the others- both negatively and positively in terms of the friends they have made

The three of them decide to find a crack in the continuum to escape back to their world in order to carry on with their choices- For Watanuki, it is to wait for Yuuko, while the two Syaoran's need to ascertain what has happened thus far

Suddenly, they see Syaoran vanishing, just like Sakura.

He explains to the other two that because his creator, Fei Wong Reed, has passed on, he too (as a created being), will vanish- Unlike "Syaoran" and Watanuki, who are not created beings. Also, he informs them to make use of the crack (created due to his vanishing) to escape.

As he disappears, he expresses his happiness of existing, even though he was born into this cruel circle.

Watanuki and "Syaoran" then escape back to their world.

"Syaoran's" price for escaping the void and for continuing to exist is to journey onwards until he finds a way to retrieve Sakura and Syaoran.

"Syaoran" and "Sakura" confess their love.

Fai and Kurogane decide to accompany "Syaoran". "Sakura" decides to remain in Clow Country due to a vision (where the journey would be made more painful if she were to accompany "Syaoran").

As "Syaoran", Fai and Kurogane leave Clow Country, "Syaoran" and "Sakura" reveal their true names to one another - Tsubasa.

"Syaoran", Fai, Kurogane and Soel visit the world of Kobato. Kobato lets them stay in her room and in return, they repay her by working. They leave the world not long afterwards.

Having inherited the store, Watanuki becomes a timeless being and continues making deals for over a century. In some moment "Syaoran", Fai, Kurogane and Soel arrive the store and Watanuki uses his magic to send them back to Clow in exchange for them giving him inspiration for a new signature.
